For a project at the university I want to work with the new Arduino GSM shield which is based on the M10 Quectel GSM chip. I want to ask, if here is somebody who can ship me one of this shield? I would be very happy, if this would be possible!

I'm waiting also! ;-) There is an official page from Telefonica where you can('t) order it. Since some weeks only with inactive order buttons and "coming soon" badge: https://bluevia.com/en/page/tech.arduino

There where many articles about the launch as a follow-up to the campus party in Berlin, e.g. http://www.h-online.com/open/news/item/Telefonica-brings-GSM-GPRS-to-Arduino-1674509.htmlhttp://www.engadget.com/2012/08/24/arduino-gsm-gprs-shield-gets-helping-hand-from-telefonica/

The bluevia support wrote that it will be ordering "in the following days" but this was about a month ago! :-(

The really friendly support told me they had some problems with the launch and the release date got delayed. If everything goes as expected, the new release day is the 22nd October. I assume 2012, the year was not specified explicit. :-)
